• Prospect House School is attentive, ambitious and highly child centred, and aims to combine strong preparation with the belief that children do best when their individuality is genuinely nurtured.

• Will suit families seeking a confident South West London prep where children are known well, the 11+ is handled thoughtfully and individuality is taken seriously.

Admissions at Prospect House School are warm, visit led and well suited to families seeking a polished Putney prep where nurturing individuality, strong staff attention and clear 11+ preparation are all visible parts of the offer. The school should suit parents who value a prep environment where children are known well and encouraged to grow in confidence without the atmosphere feeling over-engineered.

Bursaries are a visible part of the Prospect House story through the Prospect House School Educational Trust, which offers support for 7+ and 8+ entry. Even so, most families are likely to choose the school for the quality of the prep experience and the school's 11+ support rather than for funding alone.

The overall picture is strong and unusually practical, with the school giving families a visible picture of its lower and upper sites, its emphasis on individuality and its destination-schools guidance for the 11+ process. Parents should still visit because the decisive question is whether the balance of warmth, challenge and day-to-day pace feels right for their child.

Assessment at Prospect House School is purposeful and increasingly 11+-aware as children move through the school, with enough structure to prepare children well while still keeping the tone more rounded than a narrow cram-school culture. Parents should expect clear communication, secure tracking of core skills and enough stretch to prepare children well for the next stage without letting testing dominate everything.
